Their practice together this time went through a vastly different process than the Beethoven cello sonatas from the festival. Back then, it was as straightforward as could be, playing along to the sheet music to perfection. But this time, more was required of them.

Aside from Le Grand Tango, which was written specifically for the cello and the piano, the rest had been composed with other instruments in mind. They transcribed them in real time as they practiced, arranging as they saw fit, taking note of changes as they went along.
